LIP-STICK HOLDER.

Application filed August 8, 1823. Serial 1T0. 656,883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES N. CORYELL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Mamaroneck, in the county of Westchester, State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lip-Stick Holders;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescript-ion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This application relates to lip stick holders, and in particular toimproved means for advancing the stick beyond the end of the holder foruse and withdrawing it into the holder afterwards.

Lip stick holders have been provided with means for advancing the stickfor use and retracting it. As commonly constructed, the end of the stickitself is held within a relatively short container which in turn slidesin the holder proper. This holder is provided with a longitudinal slotthrough which a pin on the container protrudes and the stick is movedlongitudinally of the holder by thumb pressure against the pin. Suchdevices are relatively crude and do not appeal to the taste of thediscriminating user. It is broadly the object of the resent invention toimprove lip stick holders of this type. This I have done by employing ahelical advancing mechanism, whereby rotation of the stick effects asimultaneous longitudinal movement, and the stick advanced or retractedaccordingly. This mechanism is entirel incased within the holder and isoperate by merely turning a head on the lower end of the holder. Theoperation is very simple and the holder itself of greatly improvedappearance. In designing this novel holder, I have made manyimprovements in the details of construction, which will be pointed outin the description which follows and in the claims.

In order that the invention may be more clear] understood, I haveillustrated a preferre embodiment of it in the accompanying drawings, inwhich Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved lip stick holder; Fig. 2is a longitudinal section on an enlarged scale, showing a new and unusedlip stick in position in the holder; and F' 3 is a view partly insection illustrating t e advancing and retracting mechanism, and showingthe lip stick in the most advanced position.

The holder illustrated in these drawings is provided with an outercylindrical casing 1, in which the lip stick and its advancing mechanismare housed. Within this outer cylinder is mounted an inner cylinder 2r0- vided with a longitudinal slot 3 exten ing substantially the entirelength of the cylinder. Intermediate of the cylinders 1 and 2 is placeda tube 4 provided with a helical slot 5. This slotted tube may be madeby cutting a slot of the necessary pitch in ordinary brass tubing. Thetube is of such a diameter relative to the inner and outer cylinders,that when the parts are assembled it makes frictional contact with theinner walls of the outer-c linder and remains fixed relative thereto.The inner cylinder, however, is of somewhat lesser diameter than thetube and may be readily rotated therein.

A short cylindrical tube section 6 lies within the inner cylinder andserves as a container for the lower end of the lip stick 7 Thiscontainer is provided with a pin 8, which passes across the tubenear oneend thereof, and extends on one side into both the longitudinal slot 3and the helical slot ti. The primary function of this pin is to impartmovement to the container 6. It performs a secondary function, however,as a stopl-imitin the sition of the lip stick when the ho] er is liiiing loaded.

The lower end of the inner cylinder is provided with a flared,preferably knurled head 9, which, when the holder is assembled, forms anextension of the outer cylinder, the lower end of this cylinder abuttingagainst an annular shoulder 10 on the head. The upper peripheral edge 11of the head in conjunction with the inner cylinder forms a second andinner shoulder, which cooperates with a flan 12 on the u per end of theinner cylin er to prevent l ringitudinal displacement of the helicallyslotted tube 4. The outer cylinder is also provided with an internalannular shoulder 13 near its upper end, against which (he flange 12abuts. The parts are so proportioned that this shoulder 12 takes thethrust from the head 9 during operation, and prevents any binding at thelower end where the end of the outer cylinder abuts against the shoulder10. A cap 14 of the same general shape as the head 9 is hinged at the uper end of the cylinder 1 and completes the evice.

The manner of using the holder, just described, may be briefly reviewedas follows: \Vhen a new stick has been placed in the holder and theholder closed, the parts are in the position illustrated in Fig. 2. Touse this stick, the cover is swung back and the head 9 given a slightturn relative to the cylinder 1. As the tube 4 is fixed relative to thecylinder 1, this turning of the head 9 causes the pin 8 to slideupwardly in the helical slot 5, and thus advance the container 6 and thelip stick. After use, the head 9 is turned in the opposite direction andtheir stick retrained, As the stick.is used up, are container 6 must beadvanced farther and farther toward the upper end of the tube. By meansojfsuch an advancing mechanism, it is clear that practically the entirestick can be used up, the length of the stick prog'ecting beyond the endof the holder being he d constant at all times.

I claim:

1. In a. holder of the character disclosed, concentrically disposedrelatively rotatable tubular members, one havin a longitudinal slotand;the other a helica slot, an open- -ended carrier guided in the innertubular member and having a pin transverse of the carrier and extendingbeyond the side thereof atthe bottom of the carrier providing a stop foranarticle inthe carrier, said extended orti 11 operating in thelongitudinal and helicals ots in the two members, the inner member beingclosed atone end by an operating head provided with a shoulder rotatablyengaged by the adjoining end of the outer member, the opposite end ofthe inner membe'rf bein open and having an outwardl turned angerotatably engaging overt e adjoining end of the outer slotted member,whereby said'outer slotted member is rotatably confined between theshoulders provided by the head and out-turned flange at the oppositeends of the inner member, a casing fixedly engaged over the outerslotted member and a cover for the open end of the holder, said coverengaging over the end of the casing and said casing having an internalshoulder engaging over the out-turned flange on the end of the innerslotted tubular member.

2. In a holder of the character disclosed, concentrically disposedrelatively rotatable tubular members, one havin a longitudinal slot andthe other a helica slot, an open ended carrier guided in the innertubular member and having a pin transverse of the carrier and extendingbeyond the side thereof at the bottom of the carrier providing a stopfor an article in the carrier, said extended portion operating in thelongitudinal and helical slots in the two members, the inner memberbeing closed at one end by an operating head )rovided with a shoulderrotatably engaged the other member, the opposite end of the inner memberbeing open and having an outwardly turned flange rotatably engaging overthe adjoining end of the outer slotted member, whereby said outerslotted member is rotatably confined between the shoulders provided bythe head and out-turned flange at the o posite ends of the inner member,a casing xedly engaged over the outer slotted member, a cover for theopen end of the holder and a second shoulder on the o erating headoutside the first shoulder an pro viding an abutment for the end of thecasing.

In testimony whereof I afiix my si at ure.

CHARLES NEWTON COR LL.

by the adjoining end of holder and the holder closed, the parts are inthe position illustrated in Fig. 2. To use this stick, the cover isswung back and the head 9 given a slight turn relative to thecylinder 1. As the tube 4 is fixed relative to the cylinder 1, thisturning of the head 9 causes the pin 8 to slide upwardly in the helicalslot 5, and thus advance the c0ntainer 6 and the lip stick. After use,the head 9 is turned in the opposite direction and the li stickretracted. As the stick.is used up, 1; e container 6 must be advancedfarther and farther toward the upper end of the tube. By means of suchan advancing mechanism, it is clear that practically the entire stickcan be used up the length of the stick pro'ecting beyond the end of theholder being heid constant at all times.

I claim:

1. In a. holder of the character disclosed, concentrically disposedrelatively rotatable tubular members, one having a longitudinal slot andthe other a helical slot, an open- -ended carrier guided in the innertubular member and having a pin transverse of the carrier and extendingbeyond the side thereof at the bottom of the carrier providing a stopfor an article in the carrier, said extended ortion operating in thelongitudlnal and helical slots in the two members, the inner memberbeing closed at one end by an operating head provided with a shoulderrotatably engaged by the adjoining end of the outer member, the oppositeend of the inner member bein open and having an outward] turned angerotatably engaging over t e adjoining end of the outer slotted member,whereby said outer slotted member is rotatably confined between theshoulders provided by the head and out-turned flange at the oppositeends of the inner member, a casing fixedly engaged over the outerslotted member and a cover for the open end of the holder, said coverengaging over the end of the casing and said casing having an internalshoulder engaging over the out-turned flange on the end of the innerslotted tubular member.

2. In a holder of the character disclosed, concentrically disposedrelatively rotatable tubular members, one havin a longitudinal slot andthe other a helica slot, an open ended carrier guided in the innertubular member and having a pin transverse of the carrier and extendingbeyond the side thereof at the bottom of the carrier providing a stopfor an article in the carrier, said extended portion operating in thelongitudinal and helical slots in the two members, the inner memberbeing closed at one end by an operating head irovided with a shoulderrotatably engaged by the adjoining end of the other member, the oppositeend of the inner member being open and having an outwardly turned flangerotatably engaging over the adjoining end of the outer slotted member,whereby said outer slotted member is rotatably confined between theshoulders provided by the head and out-turned flange at the o positeends of the inner member, a casing fiiredly engaged over the outerslotted member, a cover for the open end of the holder and a secondshoulder on the o erating head outside the first shoulder an pro vidingan abutment for the end of the casing.
